why are the police reluctant to get involved? if you were writing the legislation how specifically would you go about solving this? creating some way to contact the police anonymously in the community's or spying on them or breaking them all up? how can you solve a problem if people arent willing to come forward and be shunned?

why is what we have now not enough? what barriers are there in place to stop others from going to the police ? what are the cultural ramifications of going to the police or speaking up about abuse? if the religious/town leader is not the abuser can Amish go to them and reliably get help in these situations? how wide spread is this in the amish community?

ok so lets say you are a author you have your book you want to publish, you have already said get a agent.

what does a good deal with a agent look like? and bad deals? what do you want to avoid?

what does a good deal with a publisher look like or a bad one?

when does self publishing make sense? ever? how about using a platform like amazon ebooks?

i ask because this seems to be a step a lot of authors get stuck at.
